GRAEME COOPER
(R.I.P.)

TRIBUTES

A wonderful, no nonsense superb
musician. Can’t remember how we hooked up. I’d heard he was a
taskmaster. Was back in the late 60’s. And the hard case, Warwick Earle,
his then drummer. Got all his kit in a Fiat Bambina. Cymbal stack poking
out the roof. Good guy. Said I’d better know my stuff. “Is
Coop’s that bad?” I asked. “No, he’s that good.” He certainly was
that. The kindness of the man I will never forget. Nor Mary, his
wife. Truly, lovely people. -
